so this is the thread about describing your voice .. since all of us in this forum are communicate by typing words, we only can imagined what others may sound like..

ok i start first, my voice sound really good in my head, especially in the shower XD ... but when i hear it after someone recorded into video tape i must said i really hated it.. Probably is the most annoying voice to me, thank gosh i don't really have to listen to myself all day.. I usually sound a bit irritated, complaining most of the time.. when i get nervous i usually talk really fast to cover up my bad grammar. and time to time I howl or said "wow" at random things for no particular reason..

As for accent I don't think i have one, because even my native people (the vietnamese sound different than I am).. I spoke two languages (English and Vietnamese) and a failure in both.. XD

I speak too fast, too often and too incoherent for anyone to ever understand me but from what i heard i am a great singer.. well f*ck the idol jury! :D (Even tho i know one of them IRL lol)
I speak what we say in sweden "småländska" but as i call it. "proper swedish" (except from göteborska) and when i'm speaking french they say it sounds like i'm from Nice, or the area around it. My english sounds kind of brittish, london type. I would love to know cockney (sp?) but i doubt i'll ever learn it =(

maybe you should upload your singing to youtube.. ^^

Yea it's me on the ava and i have a youtube account (adamclason).
Adressed as a musician but haven't added any videos.

edit: Doing a duet instead with a friend of mine, as in me playing the guitar and she's singing, I'll only be backup vocal but i think you'll hear me anyway. :)

Uploading it this weekend when we're off to videotape it :)

Proper Swedish?! "Uppländska" dear you, is the proper style ; P

Whoa...My voice? Low, but really detailed...good for speech (my teacher says, so I trust him). Depending on situation from to fast to slidderish...

Reallly hard to describe something that seems natural to oneself ^^b

My voice is probably fairly dark. And my dialect (in norwegian) doesn't make it any better. xD
As for English I have an American accent. With some British-ish words here and there.
Try to not sound Norwegian when speaking English.:o

Me singing = Tone deaf.

Norweigan is such a messy language. :P Exactly as in sweden but you add e instead of a in the end of the words... :P

May 18, 2008, 10:24 AM

Hehe,I wonder which language is the messy one. ;>
If I were to write in my dialect, you probably wouldn't understand. :o Like "Jeg = Æ,Ikke = Itj".

To be on-topic a bit;Who likes listening to their own voice? Not me.:tem
When it comes to singing,I'm so tone deaf it isn't even funny.

May 18, 2008, 10:27 AM

Hehe well i hate to listen to my own voice but that's natural i think.

And hmm everyone CAN sing if they just practice but hey it might not be that fun 'cus if you think of it, learning how to sing is like learning how to play icehockey.. and

IT.
IS.

PAIN! (but totally worth it!)

oh yeah, my roommate's mom thought i was from texas, my accent is that bad...im actually from the the mid atlantic.

Well, most of the people I know say that my voice is pretty...mellows.
But because of me being a twin I have someone that has an almost identical sound as me, although everyone say that I speak in a clearer way.

A twin, you say? How identical are your voices? The twins I've come across always have the same voice tone, but speak very differently. Usually, it's the only way I could tell them apart.

I'm often told to repeat my last statement, or to slow down. Growing up with a stutter, I believed that I could 'outrun' it by talking faster. I've been making efforts to slow my speech - now I feel like I'm speaking with children in every conversation I have.

My voice is deeper than I think, if the recordings I heard where any indication, but it's hard to believe; to my ear, my speaking voice is higher than I would like.

Articulation and pronunciation has never been an issue for me, even as a child.

my voice is too different than other girls. Because sometimes i speak with boy's voice and sometimes i speak girl's voice when i shout. Yeah, for speaking, i seldom speak anymore. For Bahasa, i always speak informal. Sometimes i speak Japanese and English at my school. ^^

That sounds awesome :wtf

Me? I have a voice like the OP said, sounds great inside my head. I don't dare to sing in the shower so as I don't fall in love with me :p .
But outside of it, it sounds in a middle register and with an irritating (to me) lack of force in the sibling consonants.
My native language is Spanish and when I talk in English my voice sounds with an italian accent. In fact, the people of my country that lives in my city (Buenos Aires) is said to be the only people in the world that talks native Spanish with an Italian accent :D
I'm also given to talking in bursts so I'm often asked to repeat what I said.
Fortunately when I read or give a lecture I can successfully control the "burst rate" so as everyone can understand me well.

Anyways, I've been told that for my feminine attitude on the forum with all the bunnysmileys and :wtf emoticons (I'm heterosexual btw, I just like to act "gay" because I know a lot of people who are intolerant towards people with sexual orientations apart from heterosexuality) and what not that I have a kinda dark, soft voice. I take that as a positive thing though and I have a hmm... rather matured voice for my age but not too dark. It's pretty nice for doing elvis covers... :oh

Well my voice is too high pitched for a guy, not a girly voice but a 13 year old voice that is while i'm talking I guess I should force my voice to change.

I'm a fairly good singer I can do low notes with no efort and can do high notes that usually only women can do. I can sing in a soft voice and also in a really raspy voice similar to axl rose from GNR or Brian Johnson from AC/DC (not as good as them though and my range in that register is very small thoug9. But I can't reach anything in between those two kinds of voice.

My voice is soft. Not high nor low somewhere in the middle, I guess. If that make sense.

What I can do is change the tone, like when you mimic an impression of someone you just heard with a deep or low voice, etc. That is nothing special though because it's what everyone can do. lol

it's no fair.
My older brother is a cartoonist. meaning that he roles in television voices for particular characters who can't speak their plot very well, but have good acting skills.

So he practices near me, and I catch on, and not i have like 18 different voices.
It's fun, but freaky.

You're a tenor? When I'm singing I'm normally a baritone, but I can sing as a backup tenor too \o/.

Yeah I don't look like one but you could say that . I've been losing control over my range since I gave up in singing classes and I don't train much since I don't want to be a musician, and even if I were to be one I woul prefer to play guitar or piano (wich I do only for fun).
